Companies House Penalty Appeals

[C7_AR]

Hi All

 

I have been hit with a Companies house penalty of £375.

 

Just hoped someone in the forum knew of succesful appeals and what grounds are best to use.

 

I personally do my own accounts, on a start up company, and was away for 2 months hence didnt read the notice in time.

 

Any advice would be great

 

Thanks

Hi C7_AR

Welcome to The Consumer Action Group.

 

 

I am just letting you know that as you haven't had any replies to your post yet, it might be better if you post your message again in an appropriate sub-forum. You will get lots of help there.

 

Also take some time to read around the forum and get used to the layout. It is a big forum and takes a lot of getting used to.

 

 

Once you start to find your way, you will soon realise that it is fairly easy to get round and to get the help you need.

 

It can be bit confusing at first.

I had a similar situation except that mine was due to an incompetent accountant at the time. I didn't appeal because I was told by Companies House that If I lost the appeal the fine would be charged at the higher rate of £1,500. In my experience it's best to put it down to experience, ask for time to pay, and recognise that no lesson is truly free. I never paid the accountant though, and he didn't dare ask me to either, so for me it was all good.
